3M Ventureshield
Has anyone on this forum had the 3M product applied to the front of their F30 for stone chip protection? My 335 M sport is arriving in about 10 days and I need to deciide if I will put this on it. I have it on my 135 and on my A3. But the design of the nose of the F30 makes me wonder if I need it for this car. The F30 front has the front portion of the hood pulled back from the moulded part where the BMW emblem is located and the 3M material only goes on the hood. On the older cars, the steel hood went to the front edge and incorporated the BMW emblem. Comments please?

Looks good. Can't notice too much. My only worry about these is when there's dirt build-up at the crease. Do you have any pics in the sun?

If you look for it you will see the line - and I mean "look" for it. But I have had several cars without this kind of protection and I much prefer the line to the horrible marks of stone chips. Our Ontario roads can be pretty nasty to the front ends of cars. |

Yeah, all my cars have little divots in the front like they were re-entering earth's atmosphere! Thanks Shep1.

The shape of the m-sport front bumper is tricky to do and he did a great job. He did not have time to get the headlights done the day I had it in because I forgot to ask about those when I booked the appointment so it will be going back to have them done as well. I highly recommend him. |

How much is the headlights? Have you considered the mirrors as well? I am thinking to just wrap the front bumper including foglights and headlights.. How long did it take> Thanks |
